We have a frost warning tomorrow morning, and whatever I had planted has been hiding under a bucket for the past 3 nights. Soil temp is down to 53 degrees at 4 inches. Nothing is really growing despite sunny weather.
I'm again tempted to plant out after the frost Monday or Tuesday despite the cool soil temps. It's supposed to rain all week Wed - Sat, which will again set back planting to into next week. Transplants are too big for lights now, probably getting rootbound. I've had miserable results planting "bargain" plants when they get marked down June 1. They struggle in the June heat and drought we have experienced the past few years. Maybe it will be a nice moderate year, although nothing else is!
Plant or wait again until , no clear path!
